Encountering Divine Presence: The Burning Bush Story

In Exodus 3, Moses encounters God in one of the most powerful and life-changing moments recorded in Scripture—the burning bush. This extraordinary event wasn’t just about fire that never consumed; it was about God revealing His presence in an ordinary place. The story reminds us that God often meets us where we least expect Him, calling us to listen, trust, and obey. Moses’ hesitation, questions, and fears feel very human, yet God’s response shows patience, reassurance, and divine strength. In this reflection, we draw lessons on recognizing God’s presence in our daily lives, even in the small and overlooked moments. We also see how God equips us for the calling He places before us, teaching us courage, prayer, and obedience. Whether you are facing uncertainty or seeking direction, Moses’ encounter is an invitation to live with reverence, trust, and renewed faith in God’s will.
